Leupold has added to its mounting systems with the introduction of its new Mark 4 IMS mounts for AR-15s (Modern Sporting Rifles), and expanded rifle fits in its QRW, PRW, Dual Dovetail, Quick Release and Standard bases.

"Rings and bases are often overlooked, but are critical to getting optimal accuracy out of your rifle and riflescope," said Tim Lesser, vice president of product development for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. "We develop and test our mounting systems to eliminate guesswork for the hunter and shooter. There's no decision needed, just choose Leupold and you're good to go."

The redesigned Mark 4 Integral Mounting System (IMS) is a one-piece mount that is optimized for AR-15 builds. The lap-free scope rings feature four screws, with threaded steel inserts. Long-range shooters can choose the Mark 4 IMS with 20 MOA built in, while hunters and casual shooters can choose a flat base. 

For fans of the round-receiver variants of the Savage 10/110 and Weatherby Mark V platforms, Leupold now offers QRW two-piece bases. These bases allow for the use of either QRW or PRW rings. For the new Ruger American Rifle, Leupold is offering Standard bases specifically designed for the short-action models. Dual Dovetail mounts are also now available.

Michigan Mayor Looks Down on Guns and Dogs

“If you’ve got a gun, you should be ashamed of yourself,” said Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand. NRA-ILA also noted that in his response to a police K-9 chasing down a suspect, LaGrand said: “It is time that we ask, ‘What are dogs good for?’ Like, if you need a dog to find someone in the woods, get a hound dog. If you need to chase somebody in a backyard, why couldn’t you do that with a drone? If my dog did what I saw in that video, I’d put my dog down.”

Coyote Tactics: Stay Flexible

The successful hunters I know do not get hung up on one tactic. They constantly float between strategies in an ever-changing hunting environment. Quite simply, they’re flexible. I take that improvising nature to heart even for coyotes, particularly when they shun my calls for whatever reason. When that occurs, I continue the hunt, but modify my strategy to fit the scenario.
